Disability Inclusive Reptile Shows
The Snake Bite Program is passionate about working to include people who live with disability to learn about reptiles in a safe inclusive environment tailored for such needs.
At THE REPTILE HUB - we provide specialised and tailored reptile shows for people living with disability who for any reason can't otherwise travel or be in large crowds. The Reptile Hub is a safe space where we can work with you/your carer to understand your needs and accommodate a show accordingly. You can get up close with blue tongue lizards, shingle backs, bearded dragons, water dragons, pygmy dragons, crocodiles, turtles, frogs, snakes, pythons and more!
​
We work with you and your carer to ensure that all needs are met. You have the opportunity to help feed some frogs or lizards, pat and hold the animals, get up close in an interactive experience tailored just for you. At the REPTILE HUB, we do NOT discriminate, instead we include you as much as possible to have the experiences with animals that will make you smile.

GET TO MEET STAR & CHILLI!
One of the best parts of the interactive animal show for people living with disabilities is that you get to meet Star the border collie and Chilli the Chihuahua who are both in training to be service dogs (By Mark Pelley) and are an integral part of The Snake Bite Program.
​
Star is training to work with people with disabilities and help them have a fun interactive experience with the reptiles.
​
Chilli is a chihuahua and is more of a lap dog that knows how to interact properly with reptiles while being held.
